History - The Dance Studio - Bellingham dance lessons for the young and young at heart!The Dance Studio – Bellingham dance lessons for the young and young at heart!
From a tiny studio in 1979 to Bellingham's largest dance studio, our different approach to teaching and living dance has made an impact on many lives throughout the years. We strive to create a lifelong love for dance!
My mom, Wendy Setter, started The Dance Studio in the fall of 1979. I like to refer to her as "Little Miss Bellingham" because she was so involved in the community. Our family has always been artistically inclined and at the age of three, my grandma put my mom into dance classes to follow in her footsteps. She started dancing with Betty Alsop, a Bellingham dance icon, at age five and performed all around the community, if there was an opportunity to dance (even on a drum), she was there. As a teen my mom tried out for the Music Man and became hooked on musicals, which eventually led her into choreographing for local theater groups, the BHS swing choir and starting The Dance Studio.
The Dance Studio opened on the top floor of the Fairhaven Marketplace in 1979, bounced around Bellingham and finally settled in at home here on Cornwall Avenue at the original Hillview Dairy in 1996.
I was fortunate enough to grow up at The Dance Studio. I practically lived there. My mom created a fun, eventful and loving place to be raised. I remember watching the big girls take classes when I was a tiny tot and staring at their pointe shoes in complete awe. As I got older, I would listen to tap rhythms through the walls of the dressing room and learn all the tap dances I could by piecing together the sounds. I loved being at the studio. I felt free to be creative and was inspired by the people around me. I was invited to join a traveling dance group, the Jr. Hoofers, at The Dance Studio when I was ten. It was the first time I remember being held to a higher set of expectations by my dance teachers. I learned to respect the classroom, my teachers and my peers, and I learned a sense of discipline that I wasn't able to get anywhere else. We were able to travel around the world, perform in Australia, international parades and competitions and formed incredible friendships. I was surrounded by teachers that encouraged me to reach my goals and I felt such pride when I achieved those goals. The Dance Studio provided me with the tools I needed to be successful in life. I was prepared for the challenges of high school, college, and my first big job because of the lessons I learned at the studio.
My childhood experience at The Dance Studio was so positive and substantial that I wanted to be able to pass on the same experience to future students. I love the beauty of dance and I love seeing students realize their passion in the art. I love teaching, seeing the students work each class to reach their goals and then watching their faces light up as they have succeeded. I love their curiosity and hunger to learn more. They are incredible sponges and continue to surprise me with all they can do. The students are not given things, they earn them and that results in well adjusted, confident and prepared individuals.
Over the years TDS students have gone on to perform in companies, some have started their own studios and some of our originals are still dancing with us today. My mom was pregnant with me when she taught some of the adult tappers that I still teach every Wednesday! I've been thrilled to pick up where my loving mother, Miss Wendy, left off and continue growing the studio and helping others learn to dance. It's been a whirlwind of fun and hard-work creating a caring environment for students to gain a love of dance and build confidence. I'm very proud of The Dance Studio, the positive staff, the talented students, and the supportive parents. It is a blessing to do what I love in such a beautiful community. I am passionate about continuing the welcoming, encouraging and positive family environment at the studio. It is my goal to have each student leave class feeling better about themselves than when they walked through the doors. As my mom always said, hugs, manners, and laughter are the most important things in life!

This is a quirky tale told in the presently fashionable present tense and in a distinctive insistent idiosyncratic voice. The voice belongs to Elvis ("not that Elvis…") Crampton Lucas, a boy who was discovered as a baby under a newspaper on a bench at a zoo, and is now determined to find his natural parents. Luckily he has an understanding adoptive dad, George Lucas ("not that George Lucas…"), who has an eccentric friend, Lloyd, who not only turns up in unexpected places in the house (out of a suitcase, at one point) but also has enough money to fund a visit to Norway: a choice of destination suggested by the language in which the newspaper was written. So off they go on an adventure that it is both a road trip and a mystery, steering wildly from a Hitchcockian motel visit and train journey (no knives in the shower but at least one gun on the train) to a wild car chase across an icy causeway.
And, of course, they are pursued by shadowy figures who may be the key to the mystery. Or does it lie closer to home? Are George and Lloyd telling Elvis all they know? This is tremendous inventive fun, told at a pace, with plenty of contemporary references (Elvis is a YouTuber and video creator after all), unafraid to mix the absurd and improbable with some potentially weighty questions about identity and family, truth and justice, and peppered with spicy turns of phrase and laconic observation that wouldn't be out of place in a Raymond Chandler novel: altogether great stuff.

Ku Hye Sun Reveals She Broke Up With A Boyfriend Because Of "Boys Over Flowers"
by E. Cha
On the latest episode of "The Manager," Ku Hye Sun told behind-the-scenes stories about her hit drama "Boys Over Flowers"!
In her first variety show appearance since her divorce, Ku Hye Sun appeared as a guest on the November 7 episode of the MBC reality program. She also introduced viewers to the head of her new agency, Kim Sung Hoon, who previously worked with Ku Hye Sun for many years during the early days of her career.
In an interview, Kim Sung Hoon recalled the grueling process of getting Ku Hye Sun cast in her legendary starring role in "Boys Over Flowers."
"The competition to get cast in the drama was extremely fierce," he shared. "Every agency that had any actresses in that age range were all begging to have their actresses cast. I also spent so much time waiting at the production company, going back and forth, and meeting with the director multiple times until Ku Hye Sun was finally cast in that role."
While sharing a meal with Kim Sung Hoon and his son (who is also her manager), Ku Hye Sun complained with a laugh, "What I found most unfair [about 'Boys Over Flowers'] was that the guys would arrive at the end of a scene dressed in pretty clothing, and then they would steal the show. But from the beginning, I'd be getting hit by eggs and flour up until they showed up, and then the scene would end. It was ultimately the male lead who benefited."
Kim Sung Hoon responded, "But that's why people loved the character of Geum Jan Di more, because she suffered. It was a true Cinderella story." Watching footage of their conversation from the studio, host Jun Hyun Moo agreed, "People were rooting for her."
Ku Hye Sun also revealed that she suffered a concussion while filming the scene in which she falls backwards into a swimming pool.
"But I had to keep filming right away," she continued. "If I didn't immediately continue filming, the drama wouldn't be able to air on schedule. So I pushed myself to keep filming. Then, about a week later, I started feeling nauseated and dizzy. I eventually ended up fainting during filming and going to the hospital."
Later, Ku Hye Sun went on to share that she had ultimately broken up with her then-boyfriend as a result of the drama's overseas shoots.
Explaining that she didn't have cell phone reception in New Caledonia, where the drama's gorgeous island scenes were filmed, Ku Hye Sun said, "I had a boyfriend back then, and he couldn't get in touch with me. But he didn't believe me when I said that I didn't have reception there. He thought it was an excuse. So we broke up."

Is Genesis all literal, all allegory, or somewhere between?

If it is "ignorant fundamentalism" to believe the Bible, I gladly stand guilty as charged. Man's understanding of science often changes over time, but the word of God stands forever.
If only everyone would be a Bible fundamentalist, instead of departing from the fundamentals of the faith.

For two millennia the church has understood and believed that God made all living creatures. The Bible says so, and the church has always understood it to mean that God spoke them into existence (not that God waited for the "natural" course of "evolution" to take place).
Man has observed for centuries that the number of extant species grows ever less, that various forms of plants and animals die out over time. The fossils which show plants and animals unknown to us today fully supports this. Yet some "scientists" came along and said that, long ago, the trend was reversed: new plants and new animals developed all by themselves through "natural selection." (Where has this process been in the last 2,000 years?) And silly people run after these "scientists" in abandonment of what has always been known: that species die out over time as the earth as all things on the earth decay, and that God created the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind, and that nothing was made without God the Son making it.
If this 'new religion' can believe that new life forms came forth by "natural" means (even though we know it to be unnatural!), then the 'new religion' can also believe that man evolved from dumb animals. Is Jesus the great-great-great grandson of an orangutan? Such is this new "faith."

My first problem with this post, is that it is a straw-man argument to suggest that the alternatives are biblical literalism and outright apostacy. There are many Christians who believe the Bible without being a biblical literalist.
Must western Christians do not believe that the earth is a lump of dirt upheld from the depths that surround it by seven pillars, with the sky set out as a dome over it, and orbited by the Sun on a daily basis.
If you believe that the Earth is round and moves around the Sun, then in part you have made some concessions.
As with most people since Galileo I accept Heliocentricity as a reasonable conclusion. It may well be that the People of the Early Church did not, nd indeed it is probable that they did not. We still talk about sunrise, as the ancient custom, however most of us believe that the earth is spinning, and what we call the rising of the sun, is simply the result of the earth turning.
The philosophical idea of Pragmatism is not unreasonable. This is the acceptance of the most reasonable conclusion based on the evidence available to us at the time. At some stage we may need to re-assess an earlier position based on fresh evidence. This is essentially the position that Paul takes in writing to the Corinthians now we see in a glass darkly, then face to face.
Faith calls us to step out beyond knowledge, not simply to refuse it.

As it applies to the statements in Genesis 1 and John 1 which I recently quoted, one either believes that God created (made) all of the different types of living things, as the church has always believed and as the Bible unequivocally states, or one is treading into heresy (at the least).
Previously, you stated your idea that the many species developed over time by the power and design of God (I guess, apparently because He preferred to do things an incredibly slow, gradual, and random-appearing way? Even though He is powerful enough to have all the species come into existence at the moment He conceived of it and spoke it into existence? "And God said...and it was so" (Genesis). I presume you adopted the idea because you have been persuaded by the prevailing scientific theories to reconcile those unproven, unprovable theories with your faith).
Immediately following your statement, @Invictus commented about your idea: "None of this makes very much sense on the assumption that these species were created independently and perfectly adapted to their environment by an all-wise and omnipotent Creator with a perfect plan." His logic was quite sound. Why would He have well-developed land mammals transition into sea-going whales, while having other sea-going species transition into land-dwellers? Thus, Invictus essentially rejected the idea that the many species evolved and developed by God's power and design. The remaining alternative is that the many species developed over time by random happenstance, not as a perfect plan put into place by the Creator. This is not a matter of reinterpreting the Bible but of rejecting its plain and obvious message, namely, that all things were created by God.
So, yes, between the two choices of believing what Gen. 1 and John 1 state or believing otherwise, I would choose the former and gladly suffer being called a Bible fundamentalist (whether I really am one or not) for my insistence upon believing the written word of God even when modern, popular scientific theories say otherwise.
After all, it is equally valid to theorize that the fossil record simply reflects the vast diversity of God's initial creation, and that the large bulk (perhaps 90%+) of that diversity has ceased to exist by now due to the flood of Noah's day as well as gradual extinctions from predation, inability to adapt to environmental changes, widespread diseases, and so on. We have seen (even in the space of a single century) and can bear record to the circumstances of many extinctions, yet we have not seen and can bear no record of a macroevolutionary change to any species during the history of mankind. Why do the scientists ignore the obvious and theorize that macroevolutionary advances (which we have never observed taking place even one time) have occurred literally hundreds of thousands or millions of times? Quite simply, they do so because they are searching for a way to justify existence apart from a Creator.
The Bible-believing Christian has no need for 'evolutionary theory,' because the Christian has the faith of his forefathers, faith in the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth and of all that is on the earth. This theory has not been, and indeed it can never be, established as fact in the way that the earth's revolution around the sun can be established.... by observation. Thus it is a false argument to compare evolutionary theory to any fact established by science as an absolute. Belief in macroevolution of all life forms from a single-celled organism, which in turn came alive by application of some energy source to a combination of chemicals in the primordial soup, can only be taken on faith. Belief in macroevolutionary theory is a matter of faith, and it is a faith contrary to Christianity because it is contrary to the church's belief based on the word of God that He personally created all living creatures in all of their types and variations.
"And God said...and it was so" (Genesis). When God said, 'let it be so,' immediately it was. Not eventually, after 30 million years of gradual change!

I wasn't even going to raise the issue of the Bible's endorsement of Babylonian cosmography but that's a great point.
@Rexlion, it's one thing for people to hold opinions that differ from the mainstream. Although in this case, given the state of evidence, it seems to me that to deny that evolution has occurred is about on the same level as denying the existence of gravity, let's nevertheless abstract from the particulars for a moment and grant the underlying principle: The whole history of science is the story of people who were willing to buck the prevailing conventional wisdom of their time, sometimes at great personal cost. It would be hypocritical in the extreme to condemn those who honestly believe that we are in need of a better theory than the one that currently prevails. They may very well be right. What's intolerable, at least to me, is when people actively work to convince others not to read or even consider arguments put forth by the opposing side. Each side in a debate should get a fair and impartial hearing, ideally. That being said, I regret the snarkiness of some of my earlier comments and have no wish to prolong a fruitless debate.
Invictus, Nov 8, 2021
This is not a matter of reinterpreting the Bible but of rejecting its plain and obvious message, namely, that all things were created by God.
I think this is a fair statement of the difference between the two approaches. While we may disagree as to which approach is better, I appreciate your recognition of their incompatibility, and admire your zeal to uphold the Faith. I also regret my earlier frustration, as it was manifested in some of my comments, and ask your forgiveness.
Firstly, let me say, that I believe much of science does rest of fundamental propositions that cannot be ultimately proven. Do atom's actually exist, or is it a thesis that has been tested, and ultimately is the only way to make sense of things. Are all atoms the same? Are protons, neutrons and electrons a viable way to explain physical matter? On the basis of the evidence we have to date, it would seem so.
If the universe started with a Big Bang, how did that happen, what caused it, and a trillion other questions that this proposition raises.
Science and Theology are siblings in the pursuit of truth. Followed honesty Anselm argued they would arrive at the same conclusion. I think that is true. Many scientists are ultimately people of faith, sometimes harassed by a God Fearing Church, but in the end truth will out.
My belief in God as Creator, something I hold quite dearly, is dynamic, not static. It seems clear to me that God made the world a living moving creation where change is the only constant. I do not have it all sown up, not even close. If you have a house, you may need some renovations from time to time, you may need to re-purpose some of it from time to time, so whether you bought it or built it, it is not static. I can see no good reason why evolution could not be one of the things that God created as part of the infrastructure of this place.
On my last trip to the UK, I was interested to observe that I bumped my head quite a bit. Lots of the older places we visited were built when people where shorter. Numbers of things have changed in the way of diet. When I was growing up 6 foot was considered quite tall, yet these days there is an endless array of young people who are clearly taller. Diet and lifestyle may both be contributing factors to that. When Australia introduced the pension for people at the age of 65, the average expectancy of a man was 58. These days, most men live into their seventies. Diet, improved health systems, workplace health and safety all have contributed to that.

Given the strong likelihood that some part of the tradition was already extant in the Gilgamesh Epic, that is hardly surprising. In fact it argues well for the Abrahamic Migration from Ur of the Chaldees.
Excellent points Rexlion. I would only add that not only did God make all living creatures, He made them each according to their kinds (Genesis 1:24-25).

It is likely that the Genesis version predated Gilgamesh, even if there are no surviving copies.
As just one example consider the dimensions of the Ark. The Gilgamesh version has length. width, and height all equal, which would be extremely unseaworthy, (and he built it from the material obtained by demolishing his hut). The Genesis dimensions are close to ideal. It is unlikely that the writer of Genesis would have started with 3 equal dimensions and just happen to pick the ideal proportions. It is more likely that during oral transmission the dimensions would be made equal so as to be easier to remember.

The first use of promotional products in the United States was in 1789. Inaugural buttons were commissioned when George Washington was elected the first president of the united states. These buttons were sold and worn on clothing to commemorate his presidency. Below is an image of a collectible inaugural pin for Washington. They are worth several hundred dollars now.
Although the inaugual button was the very first promotional product in the United States, there is another example that occurred before 1789 in France. And, it is a great example of how to use a promotional item to increase business. In the 1700's, the champagne region of France was not known for it's champagne but rather for it's textile houses. The Cliquot family had a large textile house in the region. In addition to the textile business, Phillip Cliquot started a small winery in 1772 that produced white wine and champagne. In the late 1700's champagne was not widely distributed and most people only drank wine. The textile business was highly competitive and so to lure clients to his textile house Phillip served the Vueve Cliquot champagne. Buyers loved it and kept coming back to his textile house for the free champagne. It was a highly effective use of a promotional product. Of course, as time went on the promotional item became more popular than the original textiles. Nevertheless, it is a great example of how promotional items can bring in customers and keep them coming back.
Pint glass printed with gold and black with a two sided print.
Full color cahier notebooks packaged together with a belly band and wrapped in cello.
As Phillip Cliquot found out first hand, Branded merchandise and apparel works. It works because the act of giving and receiving opens up a relationship. It creates a connection between two people and it creates good feelings on both parts. When you receive a gift you feel appreciated, grateful, lucky! Even if it's something small you feel good, but especially if it's something you can really see yourself using. And, when you give a gift you feel good too. Did you know there are studies that show that the act of giving results in just as much pleasure for the giver?
At B-BAM! we are consummate gift givers. We specialize in helping you chose the perfect item, whether that's a t-shirt for your team to celebrate a job well done, or the most useful tech gadget as a way of thanking people for coming by your booth at a trade show.

Q: jQuery .mousenter doesn't work after redraw I have a jquery grid that can be redrawn after a button click. This is for an Etch-a-Sketch project for The Odin Project.
The code works the first time and lets the user choose the size of grid and then draw on .mouseenter.  However, when they click the button to reset it no longer allows drawing.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have a jsfiddle for the project at https://jsfiddle.net/davidtaylorjr/cLcbxmnb/14/
HTML:

   <button class="clear button">Clear and Redraw</button>

CSS:
.grid_controls {
  text-align: center;
}

.button {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
}

.box {
    margin:0;
    border:1px solid lightblue;
    box-sizing:border-box;
    float:left;
}

.container{
    padding:5px;
}

/*=================
General
=================*/

body {
    background: white;
}

/*=================

.container {
    width: 500px;
    height: 400px;
    background-color: none;
    overflow: hidden;
    margin: auto;
    position: relative;
    top: 20px;
}

.box {

}

.clear {
    position: relative;
    margin: auto;
    text-align: center;
}

.box.black {
  background-color: #000;
}

Javascript:
$(function(){

    //Invoke original function
    drawBoxes();

    //Draw .box divs
    function drawBoxes(){
        var gridWidthInBoxes = prompt("Width of grid in boxes?");
        //Remove boxes and redraw
        $('.box').remove();
        for(var i = 0; i < (gridWidthInBoxes * gridWidthInBoxes) ; i++){
            $(".container").append("

");
        }
        //Restyle boxes after they have been drawn
        restyle(gridWidthInBoxes);
    }

    //Style .box divs with appropriate width
    function restyle(numberofBoxes){
        //Set width and height css value for '.box' divs
        $('.box').css('width', (100/numberofBoxes)+'%');
        $('.box').css('height', (100/numberofBoxes)+'%');
    }

    //Button event handler
    $("button").on('click', function(){
        drawBoxes();
    });

    //Hover to draw boxes
    $(".box").mouseenter(function() {
      $(this).addClass('black');
    });

})();

A: You need to use the event delegation syntax of .on()
$(document).on('mouseenter', ".box", function() {
    $(this).addClass('black');
});

jsFiddle example

A: Problem is the event is not added to the DOM on redraw.
Put this
//Hover to draw boxes
$(".box").mouseenter(function() {
  $(this).addClass('black');
});

inside drawboxes
     function drawBoxes(){
            var gridWidthInBoxes = prompt("Width of grid in boxes?");
            //Remove boxes and redraw
            $('.box').remove();
            for(var i = 0; i < (gridWidthInBoxes * gridWidthInBoxes) ; i++){
                $(".container").append("

");
            }
            //Restyle boxes after they have been drawn
            restyle(gridWidthInBoxes);
//here
        $(".box").mouseenter(function() {
          $(this).addClass('black');
        });
    }

A: mouseenter event will never be triggered when you redraw the box.
you will use .container to delegate the event
$(".container").on('mouseenter', '.box', function() {
  $(this).addClass('black');
});

reference: .on( events [, selector ] [, data ], handler )

A: Try this, it will help you.

  $(function() {
    //Invoke original function
    drawBoxes();

    //Draw .box divs
    function drawBoxes() {
      var gridWidthInBoxes = prompt("Width of grid in boxes?");
      //Remove boxes and redraw
      //$('.box').remove();
      $(".container").empty();
      for (var i = 0; i < (gridWidthInBoxes * gridWidthInBoxes); i++) {
        $(".container").append("

");
      }
      //Restyle boxes after they have been drawn
      restyle(gridWidthInBoxes);
    }

    //Style .box divs with appropriate width
    function restyle(numberofBoxes) {
      //Set width and height css value for '.box' divs
      $('.box').css('width', (100 / numberofBoxes) + '%');

Chalmers makes big investment in AI
Chalmers has committed to a big investment in Artificial Intelligence, that will raise research, development and innovation in this area to a new level. The Chalmers Foundation will co-finance a new competence centre, which will benefit and strengthen Sweden's expertise in autonomous transport, digitalisation, healthcare, and more.
New technology based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged from many different research areas at Chalmers. The combination of access to large amounts of data, powerful computational resources, and algorithms for machine-learning, has led to dramatic improvements in AI-based technologies.
But, hand-in-hand with hopes for the great potential and social value of the technology, go concerns for the consequences – in terms of Swedish competitiveness and the technology's possible risks for society.
"We conduct outstanding research in AI, but we need to strengthen and coordinate what we do. Therefore, we are starting a new competence centre in AI at Chalmers, which shall involve several different departments, in collaboration with industry," says Stefan Bengtsson, President and CEO of Chalmers.
The centre for Artificial Intelligence will be led by the Chalmers Area of Advance, 'Information and Communication Technology', where researchers from several departments, along with industry partners, students and guest researchers, will work together.
Interest in the new Chalmers AI centre is big, and the research has applications in many different areas. In transport, autonomous vehicles and AI based methods of modelling goods and developments are developing. In production, research in digitalisation and Industry 4.0 are in focus, and in eHealth, AI based solutions for diagnosis and patient processing are being investigated.
The focus of the centre's applied research will be created in close collaboration between Chalmers' different Areas of Advance, and strategic industry partners. An important role of the centre is also to integrate its work with the national and international research initiatives in which Chalmers is actively involved.
Examples of such initiatives include the recently announced investments from the government into development of AI, which Chalmers has been tasked with coordinating, as well as initiatives from Swedish industry, who are ready to work with investing in AI research and development. This includes the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP-AI), in which Chalmers has an active role, as well as the forthcoming AI & Data Factory Arena, at Gothenburg's Lindholmen Science Park.
"To benefit from all these versatile initiatives, we need a strong collaborative effort and a clear, strategic vision. This coming investment will lift Chalmers' AI research, development and innovation to a new level," says Stefan Bengtsson.
Work on the new AI centre will begin immediately, with the goal of opening in January 2019. The financing will come mainly from the Chalmers Foundation, with 317 million kronor for the period 2019-28. Other investments from Chalmers' industry partners will double the revenues for the centre.
On Wednesday 20th June, Chalmers held a seminar to present in more detail all AI-related activities. You can view the recorded livestream here.

Columbia Restaurant's Supper Club Decor Not Represented in Bathroom
The Columbia Restaurant
Celebration, FL USA
www.columbiarestaurant.com
From the front entrance, head through the main doors. Once you do, you'll see a gift shop directly before you, as well as a hostess station. To your left (with your back to the door) is the restaurant's bar area, which has many dark woods and tropical tiles strewn about for decor. To the far left is the main dining room -- a sprawling space reminiscent of 1950s Cuban dining and dance halls, a vast open space packed with elegant white-tablecloth-covered table, wooden walls and low lighting (no dance floor or musician stage though).
In between the gift shop and the dining room is a wood-lined hallway, which in many ways looks like an old-fashioned parlor you might find in a 1950s fine dining restaurant or supper club. Down that hallway is a phone booth (a rarity these days) as well as the entrances to bathrooms, which are near the end of the hallway.
This Florida institution has been serving up some of the Sunshine State's best Latino cuisine (Spanish food by way of Puerto Rico and Cuba, to be more exact) for more than 100 years. The history of the place, whose ownership has remained in the family for four or five generations, is proudly displayed on their menus, and several other places (it's part of the branding, really) and those who have spent more than a couple of years living in Florida know that it's a great place to go for Latino cuisine (especially if you live out of the Miami area).
The restaurant itself started in Ybor City in Tampa but has grown significantly in recent years (no doubt thanks to the aggressive gentrification of the state) to include multiple branches in Tampa, as well as locations in St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Clearwater and Celebration, which is the subject of this review.
I've been to the Ybor City location, which has some more ingrained character in the building itself -- things are beautiful there but also a bit antiquated and rusty, giving the place some charm. Here, while the decor is beautiful, it is also a bit too new and polished and representative of the manufactured Americana of the town around it, if you will. Still, if you're in Celebration and are looking for a good meal and don't feel like hitting the fine Celebration Town Tavern, or just want a place that's a little classier than that, then this is the stop for you.
The experience here is decidedly old-fashioned. While on my visit the waitstaff was younger than expected (including several college kids), they still treated us well and professionally. The food was well-prepared and delicious, especially the house specialty of paella, which came in an enormous portion that was packed with seafood and meats. Also delicious was the black bean soup and the red bean and chorizo soup, as well as the house salad, which comes topped in the restaurant's delicious signature dressing. (Though originally they didn't have tapas on the menu, I'm assuming the trendiness of the Spanish-inspired nosh plates are the reason they are added to the menu here.)
Really, it's a great place for a fine meal. Prices are mid-ranged but not too expensive (about $20 per person, which isn't bad considering the quality and experience) and also perfect for a special occasion or elegant night out (though because it's in Celebration, you don't necessarily have to get dolled up to come here).
Given the old-fashioned feel of the dining room, I expected the toilet experience here to be similar to what I found at Montparnasse 1900 in Paris, or at least something built off the spirit of McCormick & Schmick's -- a sort of modern interpretation of old-fashioned, if you will. Or even Angelo's on Mulberry, or Philadelphia's Davio's.
But that's not the case. Surprisingly, what I found was closer to TooJay's Deli, in that the restaurant's decor was not at all indicative of what you find in the bathroom. No old-fashioned vibe here, even though everything else in the place leads up to that experience. Instead, here you get your average Teutonic bathroom, nothing more. Bland, bland, bland. What a disappointment.
The room itself is hexagonal in shape. Two urinals sit up against the front wall, a two-sink vanity sit on the wall opposite that, and two toilet stalls sit in the corner opposite those elements. There's a wide common area in the middle.
The walls are covered in light beige tiles (similar to what was seen at the Monsoon Restaurant in London, though this is an entirely different experience, or Cavallari Gourmet). The floor is covered in that standard faux-brick tile we've seen at countless other places, like the Kolob Canyon Visitors Center in Utah, or the aforementioned Angelo's on Mulberry.
The walls have no decor on them. The fixtures are all white porcelain. The sink station looks like a larger version of what we saw at the Tamarisk Restaurant. Yawn.
In fact, outside of the fact that the room itself is hexagonal-shaped and there is a small supply closet (behind a dark wood panel built into the front wall), there isn't anything memorable in this bathroom at all. If I stepped in blindly, I doubt I would be able to tell the difference between this place and the aforementioned TooJay's Deli or any of the other dozen or so mid-sized Teutonic bathrooms I've been to since starting this site (like the Big Boy Diner, Jack in the Box, etc.)
Sure, it's clean and odor free and quiet. But after that kind of setup, you expect things to be different here. You think that a place with this kind of local esteem would go that extra mile when designing their bathroom, you know?
Come on, show a little life in here. The space deserves it.

Over the last decade, Cig Harvey has created several well-known bodies of work in her signature mysterious and stark style, most notably her recent You Look At Me Like An Emergency. I was immediately enamored when I discovered her newest project, Gardening At Night. The work in progress is an exploration of home, family, nature, and time. A bit darker than her previous photography, this series contains imagery of animals and dead animals in the presence of Harvey's young daughter. Some images are incredibly powerful on their own, packed with curiosity as well as fear, and I highly anticipate seeing the project published early next year.

Is there any way to get Sprockets to accept files without an extension?
Gems:
Sprockets: 2.10.1
Rails: 4.0.2

A: In order to precompile assets you need to move any files without extensions out of app/assets and into vendor/assets.  This is a known issue with sprockets and bower has a warning about it on their readme see https://github.com/stve/bower/pull/4/files
Or you could make sure all files in app/assets has an extension, but that's more time intensive.

A: in your config/application.rb file add
initializer 'setup_asset_pipeline', :group => :all  do |app|
  # We don't want the default of everything that isn't js or css, because it pulls too many things in
  app.config.assets.precompile.shift

  # Explicitly register the extensions we are interested in compiling
  app.config.assets.precompile.push(Proc.new do |path|
    File.extname(path).in? [
      '.html', '.erb', '.haml',                 # Templates
      '.png',  '.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg',         # Images
      '.eot',  '.otf', '.svc', '.woff', '.ttf', # Fonts
    ]
  end)
end

so it looks like
module ProjectName
  class Application < Rails::Application
    # Settings in config/environments/* take precedence over those specified here.
    # Application configuration should go into files in config/initializers
    # -- all .rb files in that directory are automatically loaded.

    # Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone.
    # Run "rake -D time" for a list of tasks for finding time zone names. Default is UTC.
    # config.time_zone = 'Central Time (US & Canada)'

    # The default locale is :en and all translations from config/locales/*.rb,yml are auto loaded.
    # config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('my', 'locales', '*.{rb,yml}').to_s]
    # config.i18n.default_locale = :de
    initializer 'setup_asset_pipeline', :group => :all  do |app|
      # We don't want the default of everything that isn't js or css, because it pulls too many things in
      app.config.assets.precompile.shift

      # Explicitly register the extensions we are interested in compiling
      app.config.assets.precompile.push(Proc.new do |path|
        File.extname(path).in? [
          '.html', '.erb', '.haml',                 # Templates
          '.png',  '.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg',         # Images
          '.eot',  '.otf', '.svc', '.woff', '.ttf', # Fonts
        ]
      end)
    end
  end
end

The common name for this snake is the Green Anaconda. It's the biggest snake in the world weighing in over 500 pounds. This snake has a life span of 10 years in the wild but way more in captivity. Its diet depends on carnivores and reaches a length up to 30 feet which is equivalent to a school bus. This snake has incredible strength it would literally crush you to death and just devour you head first.
Females max eggs are around 35 eggs each when hatched they are 2 feet long ready to hunt.


On Friday March 30th, the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions withdrew charges of possession of counterfeit notes against Sergeant of Police, Sherwood Wade.
Wade was arrested and charged after he was allegedly found trying to deposit U.S. counterfeit money into his account at the Belize Bank branch office on the Northern Highway on May 18, 2011. Police said at the time he was found in possession of 16 - $100 US currency notes.Two days after the bust, Officer Wade on Friday, May 20, appeared in Court #1 before the then Chief Magistrate, Margaret Gabb McKenzie where he was read a single charge of possession of counterfeit notes. Sgt. Wade pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail of $8,000 plus two sureties of $4,000 each.
He appeared in court again before Chief Magistrate, Anne Marie Smith, on Friday where the prosecutor withdrew the charges. A letter from the DPP's office presented in court states that, "I write further to my memorandum herein of the 14th December 2011. I have since been able to peruse the Cruz Garnett file and to compare the exhibits in both that and the instant case. The exhibits in the Garnett file are intact and some of the notes do in fact, bear the same serial numbers as the notes which Wade produced. I was in a meeting at the end of last year, with the Head, NCIB and the Head, Special Branch, and the latter informed me that the notes in Wade's possession were the property of Special Branch and had been in the custody of Officer Bodden prior to his death. I found it strange that this information was known and there was no such indication on file. I was not consulted in relation to this matter prior to charges having been laid against Wade. I became privy to the evidence in the matter in the regular course of proceedings when the file was sent to this office in June of last year. Since July of last year, I had been attempting to obtain the Cruz file since I was informed as previously indicated and it seemed to be to be the only "lead" to establish the case. That file was only provided to me last week. It appears to me that there is more evidence within the knowledge of the police department that there is on the file. I am therefore returning the file to you to pursue that evidence with a view towards providing the charge that you have laid. You are no longer required to return the file to this Office as in the circumstances, no one from this office will be involved in the prosecution of this case." This letter of memorandum was dated January 23, 2012 coming from and signed by the DPP herself, Cheryl Lynn-Vidal addressed to Officer Commanding Criminal Investigation Branch.
Attorney for Wade, Simeon Sampson had asked that the charge be dismissed on February 15th since they had not yet received disclosure and the matter was set for trial, however, the Chief Magistrate refused his submission. She told Sampson that the matter was relatively new and that it had only been before the court for 9 months. She had further told him that she will grant a final adjournment in the matter and set the trial date for the accused.
When the prosecution withdrew the charge, Wade was free to leave the courtroom.

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts!
"I wanted to stay connected to my own roots, but I also wanted to open a window so that Americans, or whomever would watch [La Frontera] would understand the Mexico that I missed, that I loved, and that nurtured me and my family so much." – Pati Jinich
Today's Finding Brave guest has dedicated her career to building a shared understanding between her two home countries, Mexico and the United States, through the lens of food, culture and community. In this episode, she not only reveals how she is furthering this mission through two new and exciting projects, including a PBS Primetime special, but also shares about the many twists and turns on her beautiful journey that have helped her arrive at where she is today, inspiring, entertaining and educating thousands around the world.
Pati Jinich is the James Beard Award-winning Mexican chef whose long running PBS series Pati's Mexican Table has brought Mexican flavors, colors and textures into American homes and kitchens, as viewers have watched Pati thoughtfully and enthusiastically guide them through the various diverse geographic regions of the country.
Named one of the "100 Greatest Cooks of All-Time," Pati has won a Gracie Award for her television work, is the resident chef of the Mexican Cultural Institute, has been named one of the "Top 5 Border Ambassadors" by The Council of Americas, and has authored two cookbooks highlighting Mexican cuisine.
Her third cookbook, Treasures of the Mexican Table, releases this November and is the culmination of over a decade of travel across her birth country, as she showcases the diversity of Mexican cuisine and sheds light on some lesser known dishes and recipes.
Earlier this month, Pati made her PBS Primetime debut as the host of the new culinary travel special, La Frontera, which highlights the fascinating, yet misunderstood, US-Mexico border region where countries and cultures collide.
In following Pati's journey since 2014 when I first featured her work in my Forbes column, she has inspired me and so many around the world, with her brilliance, light, creativity and insight. Today on the show, I ask Pati not only about her professional journey but her personal one, and what she believes are keys to achieving the impact and reach she has.
Pati's messages inform and inspire us to follow the recommendations she offers: to find work and endeavors that make you proud, to build a solid foundation from which to grow, to continue to hone your skills and knowledge, and most importantly, to commit to doing what feels good and right to you, that is true reflection of all that you are and wish to be.
Highlights from this Episode:
A look at Pati's beginnings and how her passions morphed into the brand she has built today [6:23]
Why she is so excited to step away from the kitchen to host her new TV show and further connect with people in a new way [8:43]
A big realization that Pati has to come to understand about the significance of the Mexico/United States border, and the people who live there [9:23]
The misconceptions she is tackling head on about the Mexican community, and why Pati says filming the new show has been a humbling experience for her [17:03]
What happens when we approach people with curiosity, respect and wanting to learn from them [22:54]
A surprise that Pati got while filming, and the lessons she learned about humanity from this experience [24:22]
The biggest takeaway that she would like viewers to get from La Frontera [33:45]
Pati's best advice for younger generations who have big dreams for their lives [35:54]

QUOTES FROM TODAY'S SHOW:
"I realized that rather than being political, it was by way of the kitchen, cooking and food that made it easier to make sense of who we are." [7:53]
"All those things that are so difficult to talk about outside of the kitchen, when you put a bowl of food in the middle of people, walls come down and veils are taken off. People are so much more willing to share, connect, and find those common denominators." [8:10]
"The more that I am on TV, radio and contributing to newspapers and magazines, the more that I feel a bigger responsibility to let people talk and share who they are, and I believe that media is meant to do that. [9:08]
"The [Mexico/United States] border is this place where there is a continuous treading between worlds internally, in a population that reaches not one country but two." [9:50]
"I'm hoping that with La Frontera, you're coming to Mexico with me and experiencing it, unscripted. I think we were able to accomplish that." [11:08]
"I'm just bringing my audience along to learn with me, and to experience with me. It builds this bond of companionship, because I'm not talking to them, but they're living what I'm experiencing." [18:41]
"I love the unscripted side of the show, because you're really going where the people are letting you go, and the more comfortable they are, the more they will go to the unexplored and fascinating places." [20:05]
"I would love for people to come into the show with open minds and open hearts, and just watch the show without an agenda." [34:07]
"If you stick to your guns about who you are, those are the things that you are going to be recognized for, and in my case it was my heritage." [37:13]

Why choose Talkmobile SIM Only?
SIM Only contracts don´t come with a new phone so they´re often cheaper than equivalent standard contracts. With short contract lengths, SIM Only deals from Talkmobile offer flexibility and excellent value for money.
Flexible 1 month and 6 month contracts.
Most standard plans include a data allowance.
Uses Vodafone network to deliver excellent coverage.
Talkmobile offer SIM Only contracts in three categories: standard 'SIMple' contracts, 'SIMpleworld' contracts and 'SIMpleunlimited' contracts. SIM Only contracts offer greater flexibility through short contract lengths and cheaper monthly fees, because the cost of a phone is not included in the contract charges.
Standard SIMple contracts are available with either 1 month or 12 month durations. 12 month SIM Only contracts include more monthly minutes than 1 month contracts at the same price level. All Talkmobile´s SIM Only deals include a monthly allowance of minutes and texts, and most include a data allowance.
SIMpleworld deals are rolling monthly SIM only contracts that include a combination of free international minutes to selected countries and UK minutes and texts. Some SIMpleworld tariffs also include free international texts.
Talkmobile also offer a special SIMpleunlimited deal which includes unlimited UK calls and unlimited UK texts on a rolling 1 month contract.
Contact your current network provider and ask for a 'PAC code'. This is a 'Porting Authorisation Code' that lets Talkmobile move your number over to their network.
Select and purchase your new SIM Only contract, and pass on the PAC code to Talkmobile when you sign up. PAC codes are only valid for 30 days after they're issued, so make sure you're within the time limit.
Talkmobile will then automatically transfer your number onto your new SIM.
Most standard SIMple contracts include a monthly data allowance.
Customers without a data allowance or who have used their data allowance are charged on a per-megabyte basis.

Q: For any group $G$, $|G/Z(G)| \neq 91$. In Malik's Fundamentals of abstract algebra, one can find the following problem:

Prove that for any group $G$, $\vert G/Z(G)\vert \neq 91$.

This exercise is just ahead of Sylow's theorems.
I've tried a couple of things, like using the class equation to derive a contradiction or treating the order of $G$ as $|G| = 91\cdot|Z(G)| = 7\cdot 13\cdot|Z(G)|$ and applying Sylow's first theorem, but I'm yet unable to prove the statement. Do you have any hints?

A: By Sylow's theorems, the group must have a normal $7$-subgroup and a normal $13$-subgroup, and so it is the direct product of these two subgroups, and is cyclic.
Then the problem then becomes a special case of this problem.
The upshot is that the only possible size of $G/Z(G)$, if it is cyclic, is $1$.

A: $G/Z(G)$ can not be cyclic if $G$ is nonabelian and the group of order $91$ is cyclic as $7$ does not divide $13-1$.


After a natural event like Hurricane Mathew there is a great deal of angst going around because the storm does damage to the yards people have put so much effort into. There is a feeling of 'oh no, I have start all over again' and it seems almost punitive in nature. It feels like something has maliciously wiped away your hard work and careful planning.
To help combat this feeling we'd suggest a simple thing. Don't remake your yard. Don't put in your mind that you want to make it back to exactly what it was because if you lost trees or fixtures to the storm, it will never be exactly the same. Each tree grows differently so even the same type of tree of the same age and size will be slightly different so it will never be 'exactly' how it was.
Instead make it new. Even if you want the same types of tress in the same location and the same fixtures, look at it as a new yard. Create it new to be just what you wanted. You've most likely learned from creating your yard the first time what landscaping you like and what lighting works for you. Use that to make a new yard that is even better than the last incarnation of it.
It sounds like semantics and in some way it is but, thing is, when you chase trying to remake something you will almost certainly be disappointed because you'll never get it exactly as it was. Instead create something new. It can be very similar or wildly different but make it new. Make it your landscaping, your new yard. However similar or different the design, create something you want rather than trying to recreate what you had. Make tweaks, little or huge, to the original design that make it perfect for you now.
A hurricane, like a forest fire, is a disaster and very traumatic to go through but it also a natural form of renewal. It is nature renewing itself for new growth. So let it be a chance to start fresh for you as well. We've come through the worst of it, now we can build something new. We can create something better for ourselves.
If you've suffered damage to your landscaping and lighting, give us a call. Let's create something amazing in your yard. We'd be happy to come out and help you plan the next perfect yard for your property from lighting and landscaping to outdoor living spaces. It's not an ending; it's a new chance to make it perfect.


First off, what is SEO and how does it affect your website and the traffic to it? Well according to Wikipedia "Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's unpaid results - often referred to as 'natural' 'organic' or 'earned' result. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engines users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines."
What this means for you is SEO developer finds a way by means of code to promote your website on Google and Bing. This done in many different ways, submitting to the search engine, optimizing the code for search engines, and the back-links.
For this exercise lets say you sell blue cheese or otherwise knows as smelly cheese. The website is developed and goes online. It looks great, with all its special effects and colours, images and fonts. Now you sit back and wait for the hits to come rolling in. But does it? Nope - nothing happens. Why? Other than the usual clients that already know about your website you get no new activity. So what now? Post a link on Facebook or Twitter? Maybe some other social media. Hey look you get a few extra visitors to the site but nothing major. Did you waste all your money and time promoting your brand on the internet? What went wrong?
Nothing really! Its just that the website isn't actually finished and ready for publishing. People may love cheese, and especially the kind you are making, but when looking for it, for your brand, the search results are many and that's why your website get lost in the thousands of cheese websites and blogs. You now have 2 main options. Contact a developer that specializes in search engine optimization or contact a marketing company like Marketing 4 Us which in the end also recommends the SEO for your website.
How can these 2 different options, yet in the same field, help you? The marketing company will draw up a plan to assist you in direct advertising of your brand and new website. Things like putting your website link on the company letterhead and invoice, branding decals on the companies transport, branding on the office building or factory, and even embroidered on your uniforms. They will help you draw up a newsletter to all your clients, unavailing your new website. All of these marketing directives are correct and have to be done. The problem with them is that but the website would still only get seen by a select few. How do you get the new website seen by the many, by other countries, by the world around? You need to realise that your website is a product that needs to be sold just the same as your cheese.
This is where the search engine optimization comes in. You site is submitted to Google and Bing with authentication codes placed in the back-side of the website. An analysis code is also placed in the back-side of each page. Now when someone searches for you or your cheese on Google or Bing, your website is available to be found. Most times the problem is that you are found on page 826 of 1000 pages (oh and I am being kind). Your only option is to contact a SEO developer. They promises you page 1 and who wouldn't want to be ranked that high. They require large sums of money and makes it sound like you can't live without it. Reality is that Rome wasn't build in a day, and if you truly believe your website can be ranked in a day, then you being lied to.
So then how do they manage to rank your website? How can they make such promises? When you think of your cheese and searching for it you use words like 'blue cheese' or 'cheese cape town'. The problem is that there is already 50 other websites ranked under those exact words. So what the SEO guy does is research. He has to find a word or two that isn't well used yet still fits in with your brand. He tags your website pages with those words like 'special' and maybe 'brand'. He then shows you that when a search is done using those words, 'special brand blue cheese' you website is on page 1. You happy thinking all is well and they have done their job, you happily hand over the money and recommend their services to all and become a believer.
The problem is that no one else searches those key words and that's why you ranked so high. While not all SEO developers have such ethics of misdirection, some do. Yes! your website most definitely needs the correct SEO done on, otherwise you have spent thousand of Rands (or $) on a website for nothing. Before accepting a quote from a SEO developer first see what is being offered. False promises are no promises. In reality Google ranks a website on its importance, its uniqueness and its value to others (as in back-links). If your website has those features build in already its just a matter of time before you are found and grow to full potential. However, if your site is the same as all the rest then its time to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new plan to sell yourself. A marketing company like Marketing 4 Us is just what you would need.
Whatever direction you decide to move in the future, make sure you spend your money wisely with educated decisions and not that of a 'no-it-all' friend that you think may know something. Even if you have to contact 10 different people that advertise SEO before selecting the one that matches your budget and offers something believable, its worth your while.
NB - SEO developers are all different and offer different services. Most are honest and reliable, but like with all things in life there are those that aren't.
Back-link is a link that refers back to you website from another.
Marketing 4 Us can be found at www.marketing4us.co.za and has the Twitter handle of @Mrkting4us.


To make the dream a reality involves a radical break from the past and a clear focus on the new priorities. One of the imperatives of this shift will evolve around consistent policies supported by strong leadership, so that rational expectations can be created. The change would also need to make span for divergent views, so that the people are assigned to roles most appropriate to them.

Don't miss the Miss Cellania posts on Fatherhood and Fathers Day.
I have learned from experience that one of the most important things a father does is demand that a child respect the mother. That's also one of the things I miss the most since my children have no father. A wise person once said (and I wish I remembered who is was) that the greatest thing a father can do is to love his child's mother. Both boys and girls need that example of how to get along with the opposite sex. Girls who have loving fathers grow up to seek a solid man to love. Boys who have that example treat women well. You can't underestimate the importance of a good father. If you have one, thank your lucky stars. If you are one, you have a tremendous responsibility even when you don't get any immediate feedback. I once had a fantastic father, and I can still see his legacy in the way my brother treats his wife and kids. That being said, lets move on to the funnier side of Father's Day.

Top Ten Things You'll Never Hear a Dad Say
10. Well, how 'bout that?... I'm lost! Looks like we'll have to stop and ask for directions.
9. You know Pumpkin, now that you're thirteen, you'll be ready for unchaperoned car dates. Won't that be fun?
8. I noticed that all your friends have a certain "up yours" attitude ... I like that.
7. Here's a credit card and the keys to my new car -- GO CRAZY.
6. What do you mean you wanna play football? Figure skating not good enough for you, son?
5. Your Mother and I are going away for the weekend ... you might want to consider throwing a party.
4. Well, I don't know what's wrong with your car. Probably one of those doo-hickey thingies -- you know -- that makes it run or something. Just have it towed to a mechanic and pay whatever he asks.
3. No son of mine is going to live under this roof without an earring -- now quit your belly-aching, and let's go to the mall.
2. Whaddya wanna go and get a job for? I make plenty of money for you to spend.
1. Father's Day? aahh -- don't worry about that -- it's no big deal.
DAD'S GARDEN
An old man lived alone. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who used to help him, was in jail. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love, Dad
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
For heaven's sake, don't dig up the garden plot, that's where I buried the bodies!!
Love, Son
At 4 a.m. the next morning, the local police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. A few days later the old man received another letter from his son.
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
This is a fine opportunity to share one of my favorite cartoons, the one where Popeye finds his long-lost Pappy on Goon Island.
THE PROUD FATHER
(Thanks, Eva!)
A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife, "Mother of Six" in spite of her objections.
One night, they go to a party. The man decides that it's time to go home and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well.
He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home 'Mother of Six?'

(Thanks, Eva!) A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife, "Mother of Six" in spite of her objections. One night, they go to a party. The man decides that it's time to go home and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well. He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home 'Mother of Six?' His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion, shouts right back, "Anytime you're ready, Father of Four." Good news! Men are living longer these days. Yes, I found a game for Father's day, a super-violent game called Dad 'n' Me.

Photojournalist Nick Ut began taking pictures for the Associated Press when he was 16 years old. On June 8, 1972, he took this Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of Kim Phuc and other children running from a napalm attack. On June 8, 2007, exactly 35 years later, Ut took another photograph of a crying girl, Paris Hilton in the back of a sheriff's vehicle on her way back to jail. The contrast between the circumstances of the two photos is quite jarring. (via Fark)
